Dont need anything fancy then. Any rotor in a plain face for normal daily duties. Slotted for bling.

The brake caliper is designed for the current size you have. It would be like buying 20" rims and trying to use 18" tyres on them.

Bigger rotors = bigger calipers = Brembo's.

Or you could just get same sized rotors with better pads and some new brake fluid and save yourself $1500 but get pretty similar braking ability. Go for Brembos if you want but you don't seem like the person who actually wants them.
